But that lack of belief in God can only manifest itself in attacking and criticizing religion, right?I don't believe it is possible for atheism to ever be anything more than critical theory because there is no affirmative case for atheism. The only argument of atheism is to argue against religion and to criticize religion.
So my question is... Is it possible for atheism to ever be anything more than critical theory?
I don't even consider it that. It's just a lack of belief in a god.
No? Where would you get that idea?
